A1 grammar points: Our list is designed especially for beginners, all difficult vocabulary and grammar banished to the later levels. Easy examples, each one with pinyin. Try clicking on one of the images below:

B1 grammar points: For when you're ready to really consolidate your grammar knowledge and fill in the gaps, but really don't want to slog through a grammar textbook. Our self-contained grammar points give you just the right amount to work on.

B2 grammar points: These aren't easy, and often involve more formal language or finer points of the more basic grammar points. It's getting hard to find explanations that really address your needs, but this is one place you can find them!

Need Help with Pinyin?

All of our A1 and A2 grammar points have pinyin throughout, but if you want pinyin for all the Chinese characters in this wiki, you can do that using free browser plugins. Also try clicking on the little cog at the top right of any page to add spaces between characters.

We've Got Your Textbooks and Grammar Books Covered

It's not yet time to throw out those textbooks! We all use the internet for everything now, but we see also the value in textbook grammar explanations and exercises, and are doing our best to link textbooks to our own Chinese Grammar Wiki content. To see how it works, click on one of the book covers below or try finding your own textbook in our list, and then seeing what it links to.
